Are you a user of gas? If not, what
Is your reason? Hare you any idea
what it would cost you per month to
use gas freely under the present price?
Whatever excuse may have existed
in times past for not using gas liberal
ly in Lincoln, there is no excuse ixis
tent today. In no city in the country
are the conditions more favorable for
the libeial use of gas. With the cost
of gas ranges and gas appliances cheap
er thau ever in their history, no intel
ligent householder can longer afford
to be without the vast comfort, con
venience and economy that this public
utility offers to all. Economy? YES,
decidedly YES. The liberal use of gas
at its present price is a positive, tangi
ble, visible economy a direct saving
of money a saving of time and labor
an increase of convenience, comfort
and health. The time for dreading gas
bills has gone by. The time for con
sidering gas as a luxury or extrava
gance has gone by. At the present
price gas is the cheapest, the cleanest,
the least troublesome and most satis-
'ttTtttHTTTIIIHIHTIimilTinT
factory form of light, heat and fuel.
Compared with either coal or wood
for cooking, gas has all the advantages.
A monthly gas bill is cheaper than a
monthly coal bil by half; a gas range
is cheaper than a coal range by half.v
Thousands of housekeepers in Lincoln
will gladly testify that a gas range for
cooking is preferable to any other, that
the cost of operating is less, that the
labor involved is very much less.
When it is understood that the average
family gas bill in Lincoln last month
for light, heat and fuel was less than
$3.00, and that many very many
bills were less than TWO DOLLARS,
it will at once be seen that even the
humblest citizen can well afford the
use of gas, and that, as a purely
money saving proposition, no house
keeper is too .poor to draw freely on
this public commodity, which is for the
'use of all, for the benefit of all, and
served at the same price and under
equal conditions to all.
For the information of those who do
not now use gas, we will be pleased to
give all needed information and afford
every facility to anybody contemplat
ing the use of gas, either for. light,
heat or fuel. We invite inquiries.

DIDN'T WANT MUCH. : '
A Sarcastic Printer Answers an Ad for a
Workman.
The following "want ad" appeared
in a Nebraska county paper:
"Wanted Printer for country work;
must be able to make up, set ads, do
job ' work, tun cylinder ' and platen
presses, do binding and editorial work
must be good violinist and musician
permanent position; S9 per week." .
A Denver printer saw the advertise
ment and answered it. He wrote:
"Dear Sir Please consider me an ap
plicant for position as denominated in
your ad. As a makeup I take a back
seat from no one, having made up 100
pages on the New York Sunday Jour
nal classified included, in three hours
and two minutes. As an ad setter and
job man I have made an enviable rep
utation. My best work has been done
in rubber. The best rubber stamps ex
tant are of my construction. I have
been master of cylinder and platen
tresses from boyhood. Can make them
print either with ink or shoeblacking.
If my application is accepted I will
take a course in some Al correspond
dence school in binding. Editorial
work has always been my hobby. Gen
eral Sherman Bell recently told Presl
dent Roosevelt that I would some day
be able to write nearly as good as him
self. "I used to be a good singer, but of
late my vocal chords seem twisted, and
I have taken up whistling, which I
suppose will he appreciated in your of
fice. ' I am a musician of the first
class. My selections on the phono
graph, are considered perfection.
"Besides possessing the qualifica
tions you enumerate in your ad, I can
also keep books, run an engine, pray
and milk. I also thoroughly under
stand plowing, raising hogs and, if
needs be, can take care of the baby
while you and your wife go to
church.
"Am thoroughly 'on' to politics, and
should there be any painting, can do
that. The wages are satisfactory.
Would like to inquire if you pay in
money or in stovewood.
"Most respectfully, ,
"P. S. I forgot to say that t also
double in brass and that I will pay
my own fare there. I am nonsectarian,
five feet nine inches, have no mustache
and black hair." Denver News.
DESERVES A MEDAL.
Railroad Makes a Wise Move That Should
Please the Women.
'Rah for Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway. It has advanced, at one
leap, fifty years to the lead, by putting
on observation cars which have a com
partment for women. ' Ordinarily a
woman is pretty much of an intruder
in an observation car, when she has
the nerve to fight her way through
the tobacco smoke and timidly pick out
a "seat which is not occupied by the
feet of some imperial male being.
There is no doubt about it, the most
effective answer to the man who
claims America to be a paradise of
chivalry would be to dress him up as a
woman and make him spend two days
in an American railway coach. The
custom of providing 10x10 compart
ments for men to smoke in and ,4x4
closets for women to dress in,, three
at a time, is a regular airbrake on the
progress of civilization. The Milwau
kee ought to be given a medal.
TEACH THE WOMEN.
Every Member Should Know What the
Union Label Means.
As a general thing union men do not
talk enough about the union labels at
home. They do not teach their chil
dren to distinguish union .and' non
union goods. This is a mistake". The
children and wives of unionists should
be educated to the value of the label.
Children are susceptable to impressions
that will' last through life, and they
shoultl be made to know that all of the
little luxuries enjoyed .should be cred
ited to the unions, for without them
there would not be ten per cent of the
wage earners receiving more than a
bare living. Minneapolis (Minn.) Un
